EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK
Section No: 1009 Date: DRAFT11-13-14
Supersedes Section No: 1009 Dated: 11-13-14
Subject: Overtime Pay and Compensatory Time for Non-exempt
Employees
Approved: Robert J. Lyons, City Manager
(a) Policy
It is the policy of the City:
(1) To comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and regulations
including minimum hourly wage requirements and premium pay for overtime;
(2) To offer the option of compensatory time off instead of overtime pay
in accordance with the terms and provisions of this policy; and,
(3) To respond to all questions regarding pay and compensatory time
and to correct any errors.
Realization of these policy objectives requires timely communication between City
employees and the City’s Human Resources Department, and therefore, it is also the
policy of the City that employees should address any issues of over or under payment of
overtime or compensatory time accrual to Payroll in Human Resources as soon as the
employee is aware of them.
(b) Work week; Work period/tour of duty
(1) City employees, other than as described below in (b)(2), work a
seven (7) day work week. These employees are usually scheduled to work 37.5 or 40
hours per work week. (The work week is further described in Employee Handbook
Section 1041, Employee Time Recordkeeping.)
(2) Most firefighters are assigned to work a 28 day work period/tour of
duty based on their battalion assignment. Most police officers are assigned to work a 21
day work period/tour of duty. The current year’s work period/tour of duty schedules are is
on file in the Fire & Rescue and Police Departments.
[11-13-14] 1 [1009]
(c) Pay for work in excess of normal work schedule
(1) A non-exempt City employee, other than a firefighter or police officer
assigned to a work period/tour of duty, will be paid at the employee’s base hourly rate of
pay for all hours worked that are in excess of the employee’s regular or normal work shift
but that are less than 40 hours per work week. This time is usually no more than 2.5
hours per week.
(2) A non-exempt firefighter whose normal work period/tour of duty is
less than 212 hours will be paid at the employee’s base hourly rate of pay for all hours
worked in excess of the employee’s normal work period/tour of duty but less than 212
hours.
(3) A non-exempt police officer whose normal work period/tour of duty is
less than 128 hours will be paid at the employee’s base hourly rate of pay for all hours
worked in excess of the employee’s normal work period/tour of duty but less than 128
hours.
(4) Time worked as described in (1), (2) or (3) above may be referred to
as “gap time” (or as “straight overtime” or “comp time 1.0”).
(d) Basis for Overtime
(1) An employee shall be compensated for overtime in accordance with
the provisions of the FLSA.
(2) An employee, other than a firefighter or police officer assigned to a
work period/tour of duty, who works more than 40 hours in a work week will be paid at the
employee’s overtime hourly rate of pay at time and one-half for all hours actually worked
over 40 hours.
(3) A non-exempt firefighter who works more than 212 hours in a work
period/tour of duty will be paid at the employee’s overtime hourly rate of pay at time and
one-half for all hours actually worked over 212 hours.
(4) A non-exempt police officer who works more than 128 hours in a
work period/tour of duty will be paid at the employee’s overtime hourly rate of pay at time
and one-half for hours actually worked over 128 hours.
(e) Prior Approval Required
It is the City's policy to have employees who are non-exempt under the FLSA perform
their work during their regular working hours. Approval from a supervisor should be
obtained in advance for any non-exempt employee to work more than the employee’s
[11-13-14] 2 [1009]
regularly scheduled work shift, or for a non-police, non-exempt employee to work through
a lunch or meal break.
(f) Compensatory Time Option
Governmental employers have the option of providing compensatory time off to
employees instead of paying them overtime. Compensatory time off is time which may
be taken off from work without a reduction in pay. The City has chosen to exercise this
option as follows:
(1) Annually a department head shall determine if employees of that
department shall be eligible to accrue compensatory time (or whether all overtime work
shall be paid) and the maximum amount of compensatory time which may be accrued.
This determination may be applicable to all non-exempt employees of the department or
to all non-exempt employees in particular position classifications; the determination shall
not be by individual employee. Any departmental determination not to allow the accrual
of compensatory time, or not to allow the maximum allowed by FLSA regulations, must
have the advance approval of the City Manager and concurrence of the Human
Resources Director.
(2) Annually each employee who is in a department and a position that
is eligible to accrue compensatory time may choose to participate in the compensatory
time program. Any such election is fixed and is not reversible during the course of the
year; it may only be changed at the time of the next annual election. Any election to
participate in the compensatory time off program may shall remain in effect without the
need for action by the employee unless and until the employee ends such participation at
the time of an annual election.
(3) An employee eligible to participate and choosing to participate in the
compensatory time program shall receive compensatory time at time and one-half for all
hours actually worked over 40 during a work week or, if a firefighter or police officer, for all
hours over 212 and 128, respectively, during a work period/tour of duty.
(4) When an employee does not actually work but uses paid leave
(e.g.,is paid holiday, pay, sick leave, or vacation leave) during a work week or work
period/tour of duty, the employee will receive overtime pay or compensatory time at time
and one-half only for hours actually worked over the applicable limit (212 for firefighters,
128 for police officers, 40 for other employees).
(5) Additionally, an employee choosing to participate in the
compensatory time program shall receive compensatory time rather than pay for all gap
time hours (as described and defined in (c) above) actually worked. Compensatory time
for gap time shall be earned at straight time, i.e., in an amount equal to the amount
worked. An employee may not receive compensatory time for gap time and pay for
[11-13-14] 3 [1009]
overtime or the alternative; the election is applicable to both types of time worked in
excess of the normal work week or work period/tour of duty.
(g) Accumulation of Compensatory Time
(1) Employees participating in the compensatory time program may
accumulate up to the City’s specified maximum number of hours. Any gap time or
overtime worked after such maximum accumulation is reached shall result in payment
without regard for the employee’s election.
(2) Under FLSA regulations the maximum amount of compensatory
time that can be accumulated is 480 hours for firefighters, police officers and seasonal
employees and 240 hours for all other employees. This maximum amount may be
changed on an annual basis by department; see subsection (f)(1).
(h) Use of Compensatory Time
(1) An employee must receive permission in advance to use
compensatory time for time away from work except as provided in (2), (3) and (4) below.
Departmental rules may require that requests to use compensatory time be submitted at
least five (5) work days or two (2) 24 hour shifts in advance. An employee’s supervisor
may approve or reject a request to use compensatory time An employee who timely
requests the use of accrued compensatory time shall be permitted to use such time within
a reasonable period of making the request if granting the request. A request will be
approved if it will not unduly disrupt the operations of the department or the City. It may
be unduly disruptive for compensatory time to be taken at certain times of the year or
during the absence of other employees.
(2) Compensatory time may be used for sick leave as specified in
Section 1003.
(3) Compensatory time must be used if an employee is on FMLA leave
or Tennessee Leave and is without accrued sick leave.
(4) An employee may use compensatory time as part of a “run out” of
benefit hours immediately prior to the employee’s retirement.
(5) Compensatory time cannot be used during any period of disciplinary
suspension.
(5)(6) The City has the option of requiring an employee to use some or all
of the employee’s accrued compensatory time at any time.
(i) Payment for Overtime or Compensatory Time
[11-13-14] 4 [1009]
(1) The City has the option of paying an employee for some or all of the
employee’s compensatory time at any time.
(2) An employee shall be paid for all compensatory time if promoted to
an exempt position or if transferred to a department or a position which does not
participate in the compensatory time off program as of the date of the transfer.
(3) An employee may request payment for accrued compensatory time
if the employee elects to request such payment when choosing to end participation in the
compensatory time program at the time of the annual election. Any such payment shall
be for all the employee’s accrued compensatory time and the time of such payment may,
at the City’s option, be delayed until the first pay period after the start of the following
fiscal year.
(4) Any payment of overtime pay or for compensatory time is subject to
federal, state or local deductions in the same manner as pay for non-overtime hours.
(5) Payment to an employee for compensatory time upon termination
shall use the average base rate of pay during the preceding three (3) years or the
employee’s final base rate of pay, whichever is higher.
(6) Any payment of overtime pay or for compensatory time upon
termination shall be subject to deductions for any amount which the employee has agreed
to have withheld from a final paycheck.

CONSENT AGENDA
HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE MURFREESBORO CITY COUNCIL
RE: Rejection of Responses to the Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) for Advertising Services,
RFCSP-01-2015
We respectfully request approval to reject all responses received for the advertising services solicitation.
Questions were received after the solicitation was issued, and a subsequent Addendum was issued to
response to those questions, neither respondent acknowledged the Addendum or used the revised
pricing page. The addendum was in response to questions received by one of the respondents.
Background
Purpose
On January 15, 2015, City Council approved the use of competitive sealed proposals (CSP) for advertising
services. The City issued a solicitation for advertising services on January 22, 2015. In response to a
question from a bidder about the solicitation, I issued an addendum and revised pricing sheet on February 9,
2015 and bidders were required to acknowledge receipt of the addendum.
Bids were opened on February 12, 2015. However; neither bidder acknowledged the addendum or submitted
their response on the revised pricing sheet.
The goal of the solicitation was to obtain pricing and demographics from local media outlets to evaluate and
award a contract for advertising services. Re-issuing the solicitation will enable the City to include the
information in the Addendum into the actual solicitation.
Scope of Work
Purpose
The purpose of re-issuing this CSP is to identify and select print media news outlets to advertise the City’
events, announcements, legal notices, and various outreach and public service information. The revised CSP
will include the pricing sheet that was part of the addendum.
Schedule
If approved, the CSP will be re-issued on March 4, 2015 and proposals will be due on March 17, 2015.
Fiscal Impact

RE: PROPOSAL FOR CONCEPTUAL DESIGN, TOWN CREEK RESTORATION-PHASE 1
Dear Mr. Huddleston:
Griggs & Maloney, Inc. (G&M) is pleased to present this proposal to assist the City of Murfreesboro
(City) in the conceptual planning of restoring Town Creek in the stream segment from Murfree Springs
to South Church Street. (Town Creek has, for many years, been encapsulated underground within a
series of corrugated metal pipes and concrete box culverts.) In a recent study performed by ICA
Engineering, several of the aforementioned encapsulating structures were noted to be in poor
condition and in need of repair or replacement.
G&M proposes to provide conceptual planning and design for the restoration of Town Creek. G&M
will work collaboratively with the City and ICA to connect and interface the stream sections proposed
to be opened (“daylighted”) at appropriate locations where structural features rehabilitation is
proposed by ICA, as well as the beginning and end constraints of the outlet structure at Murfree Springs
and box culverts beneath South Church Street.
G&M also proposes to perform the following ancillary tasks to further assist the City:
x Develop a conceptual master plan for future phases of the Town Creek restoration from S.
Church St. to its point of confluence with Lytle Creek.
x Understand the process by which the City may obtain stream mitigation credits for future City
projects that impact and require permitting/mitigation.
x Perform limited engineering and modeling of the conceptual design.
Project Budget
G&M proposes to perform the conceptual planning & design and other tasks described above for a not-
to-exceed amount of $8,400. No permitting activities or regulatory agency(s) permit fees are included
as components of this proposal. All work will be performed in accordance with the attached Billing
Rates and Standard Terms and Conditions previously agreed to by G&M and the City.
Mr. Sam Huddleston
February 16, 2015

To accept the conditions of this proposal please sign below and return a copy to us as our
authorization to proceed. If you have any questions regarding the proposal, please call me at (615)

REGULAR AGENDA
HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF MURFREESBORO CITY COUNCIL
RE: Solid Waste Collection Policy
Resolution 15-R-08
Ordinance 15-O-11
Background
On January 15, 2015 the Council considered a report from the Assistant City Manager on
Solid Waste services and large multi-family developments. After review of the zoning
ordinance provision requiring commercial collection and the requests from residents of
more than one of the affected complexes, the Council voted to allow for the City to provide
solid waste collection services if the services could be provided safely with the City’s side
loader equipment to both existing and future multi-family townhome developments by
supporting Mr. Crumley’s third option.
The Planning Director (interim), Solid Waste Director, Assistant City Manager, and legal
staff have worked through the issues and developed the Resolution and Ordinance before
you. The Resolution establishes the criteria which will allow existing developments
identified in the January 15th report to request service. It will also allow solid waste service
to continue for the two developments currently receiving it and allow service to be extended
to proposed extensions of three existing developments.
The Ordinance calls for information to be submitted as part of the site plan review process
that will enable future multi-family developments on public streets to request waiver of the
commercial collection standard.
Fiscal Impact
Assuming some if not all of the developments identified will request and be approved for
City solid waste services, this will result in increased City expenditures for garbage cans
(one time) and for human and vehicular collection costs (recurring) but no quantification of
the exact amount is available.
Concurrences
None.

City Attorney
RESOLUTION 15-R-08 authorizing City solid waste collection services to be
provided to multi-family developments under specified terms and conditions.
WHEREAS, Section 18(D)(1)(c) of the City’s Zoning Ordinance has provided that
multi-family developments with more than fifteen (15) dwelling units shall use a
commercial collection service for solid waste collection since December 31, 2004; and,
WHEREAS, owners and residents of several multi-family developments built under
this zoning standard have nonetheless requested City solid waste collection service and
the City Council considered the issues presented on January 15, 2015; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to authorize the use of City solid waste
collection services for existing and prospective multi-family developments meeting certain
specified criteria.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF MURFREESBORO, TENNESSEE, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Notwithstanding Murfreesboro City Code, Appendix A – Zoning,
Section 18(D)(1)(c), existing multi-family developments of more than 15 units in a
townhome or condominium format already receiving City solid waste collection services,
i.e. Riverbend Park Townhomes and the Villas of Baskinwood, may continue to receive
such service.
SECTION 2. Notwithstanding Murfreesboro City Code, Appendix A – Zoning,
Section 18(D)(1)(c), existing multi-family developments of more than 15 units in a
townhome or condominium format not currently receiving City solid waste collection
services may do so if and only if the following conditions are met. The City’s Solid
Waste Director shall determine if these conditions are met if a development requests
City solid waste services:
a. The entrance for each dwelling unit must be on the ground floor;
b. Each dwelling unit must have a location for storage of the container that is not
visible from either the public right-of-way or from a private street;
c. Each dwelling unit may be served using the City’s side loading automated
collection vehicles and equipment; this requires that both street width and the
turn radius of street corners and cul-de-sacs be of suitable dimensions;
d. The street network of the development will allow the City’s solid waste
vehicles to provide service to each dwelling unit without having to back up;
and,
e. The owners, or a homeowners association with the legal ability to compel all
dwelling unit owners to pay dues and assessments, agrees to hold the City
harmless from all maintenance and repair costs to privately owned streets
caused by the City’s solid waste vehicles and further agrees to maintain the
streets so that the City’s vehicles may be safely and efficiently operated. The
City shall not commence solid waste collection services if there are visible
signs of damage to any private road surface.
mjp \\puckett\legal\files\council\resolutions\2015\15-r-08.doc 2/23/2015 10:51:20 AM #1
A multi-family development requesting solid waste services pursuant to this
Resolution shall submit information to the Solid Waste Director. If the development
meets all criteria and the Solid Waste Director approves the application, service shall
be commences as soon as the City has redesigned its solid waste collection routes
for an efficient allocation of personnel and equipment and has obtained and
delivered to the residents the automated garbage collection system refuse
containers. If the Solid Waste Director denies the application for service, the
development may appeal said decision to the City Manager; the City Manager’s
decision shall be final.
SECTION 3. Notwithstanding Murfreesboro City Code, Appendix A – Zoning,
Section 18(D)(1)(c), proposed multi-family developments of more than 15 units that
already have an approved master plan and a valid approved site plan may seek to
receive City solid waste collection services through the process described in Section 2.
This criteria is met by and this approval is limited to: the Retreat at Northwoods,
Stonecrest Townhomes and Florence Village 2 Townhomes Phase 3.
SECTION 4. Notwithstanding Murfreesboro City Code, Appendix A – Zoning,
Section 18(D)(1)(c), new multi-family development of more than 15 units in a townhome
or condominium format located on public streets will be able to request approval to
receive City provided solid waste collection services as part of the site plan review
approval process pursuant to an Ordinance amendment being considered simultaneous
hereto if the dwelling units meet all criteria described in Section 2, subsections a
through d above.
SECTION 5. This Resolution shall be effective immediately, the public welfare
and the welfare of the City requiring it.
